PseudoScorpion

10 ants, 2 Battlepacks
5mm Aluminium

So far untested in battle. My second go at making a trapper.

Try large beater bars instead of irons.
You also need stronger drive so you can quickly box rush spinners.

I wouldn't use those plows like that...

RammingSpeed · « **Reply #23 on:** March 10, 2012, 05:50:42 AM »

How should I use them then?

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #24 on:** March 10, 2012, 05:56:18 AM »

Just use them as plows in the front... I don't know how to explain it in english but... Use them in 180 Degrees, If you know what I mean.

Could you give me an example?

no the plows are fine, it might help if you angled them out more though.

anyway so long as those are small jx's then you can swap the battlepacks for 2/3 ants and replace the irons with beater bars as madman suggested

RammingSpeed · « **Reply #28 on:** March 10, 2012, 06:35:26 AM »

Just replaced the battlepacks for 4 ants and replaced the irons with large beaters, nothing special.

I would use Vlads or Tornados to get the bot invertible. And I think Aluminum extenders are fine for the weapon arms.

RammingSpeed · « **Reply #30 on:** March 10, 2012, 08:18:18 AM »

Changed from rubbers to tornados and swapped the steel extenders for aluminium ones.
Also, in this state, it can beat King Grog, Black storm 2.2 and Scrapyard Behemoth (just) from NAR AI.

Not bad. I'd swap the Tornado wheels for Grannies as they have a higher fracture (? I always remember one of it's stats being slightly better and otherwise it's identical).

RammingSpeed · « **Reply #32 on:** March 10, 2012, 10:38:39 AM »

Did that, what else can I do?

Also, I'm really wishing that I entered this into RIW3 instead of the pile of dogger that I actually did.

You need a smaller chassis.

looks overpowered to me.

You can still send that in to replace your current bot, you can update before the splash is put up, which will like ly happen in either 5 or 6 days.

Bump.
Armour: Plastic 3mm
NPCs - Normal

I'm quite happy with this, even if it's untested in battle.
My only qualms with it are its crap armour, it's a little underweaponed and the beater bars graze the floor a bit.
I'm sure there's more, I just haven't found them yet. That's where you guys come in.

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #37 on:** March 25, 2012, 09:19:39 AM »

Rubbers are bit weak in DSL, I recommend to use Vlads. Also You could use lighter extender work on the wedges.

Use the large control board.
